Davis Drewiske only played nine games with the Los Angeles Kings last season, and didn't see any postseason ice time, but tradition dictates that he gets to spend a day with Stanley. And what a way to spend it:

Via his brother Max's Twitter feed (that's him on the right), this is the hockey-world-inspiring Jack Jablonski getting some Stanley Cup time with Drewiske.

The 27-year-old defenseman scheduled a viewing party Monday afternoon for the hockey arena in Hudson, Wisconsin, where he learned how to play the game... but he had at least one place he wanted to stop first.

Drewiske picked up the Stanley Cup shortly after it landed in the Twin Cities, and drove it to the home of Jack Jablonski, the Benilde-St. Margaret's hockey player who was paralyzed after crashing into the boards headfirst last winter.

Jablonski's injury and courageous rehabilitation brought together the hockey world in the last several months, including a fundraiser in July that had NHL dignitaries and $120,000 in ticket sales. He became a national sensation and local hero: Earlier in August, he blew the celebratory gjallarhorn to help kick off the Minnesota Vikings' season.

Fueling his inspirational story: The fact that Jabs has made remarkable progress from the dire predictions about his health initially.
